The 2021 NBA draft is tomorrow which means that Summer League is right around the corner.
Last summer, the NBA was forced to cancel Summer League due to COVID-19 as the 2019-20 NBA season was put on hold until August.
Today, the Charlotte Hornets released their upcoming Summer League schedule in Las Vegas, which starts on Aug. 8 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
OFFICIAL: The NBA has announced the full schedule for Summer League 2021, which will take place Aug. 8-17! ☀️

Along with whomever Charlotte drafts tomorrow, expect to see the likes of Vernon Carey Jr. and Nick Richards.
